It can be very difficult for a single parent to raise a child. I have a close friend at work that does it and it’s been a very trying time for her. Her son has reached his teenage years and has become very difficult to handle. The boys name is John and he has been getting into a lot of trouble with drugs. He stays out late with his friends sometimes doesn’t come home at all. She has tried everything she knows, but she can’t seem to control him anymore.
I volunteered to help her out in any way I could. The first thing I did was to go on the internet to find teen addiction info. This way I could help her make good decisions about how to go forward. After looking at several sites on the internet, I thought that I would recommend a teen drug rehab program for her son. Getting her son professional help seemed like a good idea to me.
I think that having her son in an environment that was geared toward recovery would help a lot. I think this young man will have a great future if we can take care of this problem. Getting him the teen drug treatment that he needs will be a great first step in that direction. I’m sure that it will all work out.
